Had a really strange day today. It started out good. I had a Light practice, cold tub, saw the new xmen moive, ate chipotle and then had some brain scanning done. Then I waited in a 3 hour line to get my bike fixed for free in Dundas Square, in what felt like the hottest day of the year, all to save some money. While I was there I met a drug dealer, a counselor/actor who does theater on a 3 million dollar boat in the greek islands, and a couple of people on a mission to spread happiness from Atlanta, Georgia. The person fixing the bikes was there all day from 7am to 8:30pm(what a boss). Also consumed wayyyyyyy to much sushi(Thanks Martyn!!)..... sushi coma commencing....NOW!!!!!
Real blog post tomorrow

Hard Work Is Paying Off
After coming down from altitude I have been doing some amazing things in practice that I wouldn't have even dreamed about last year. A big part of that I can attribute to my support staff Jason (massage and rehabilitation) Ron and Steve (strength coaches) Judy (Sports Psychologist) Melissa (Nutritionist) Elton and Rob (the sports scientists) and of course the man that puts it all together Greg (Physiologist). Without these people I would not have been able to improve the way I have been. I have taken off 7 seconds in the 200 breast and 1.5 seconds in the 100 breast in 2 years.... at my age that is unheard of. It takes so much time, effort and financial support from so many people to help me get where I want to be. I could not have done this without their help, and the belief from so many people that I could be great some day.
Thanks to everyone that believes in me.

Arizona Training Camp (Phoenix and Flagstaff)
Hey Everyone!
Things have been going great in the pool! I just got back from a month long training camp that has helped push me to the next level. I was trying to do some posts while I was away, but my ip address got banned at our hotel, because I was watching to many shows online :s.....
The first training camp was amazing in Phoenix the weather was unreal, sunny and 34 degrees Celsius everyday!! The beautiful weather makes it so much easier for me to train.... I can't get enough of the sun!!!
The second training camp was in Flagstaff. Which is around 6,800ft about sea level. It makes walking around a daunting task at first. Training was very intense at Flagstaff, no days off and scientific testing everyday! I was very fortunate to watch Alexander Dale Oen ( 2nd in the 100 Breaststroke at the Olympics 2008) train at Flagstaff. My coach was able to get some great tips from his coach, which we implemented right away! Keep Checking my blog I will will be posting every Wednesday!
